Who would win Secretariat or Seabiscuit?
As with the match race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral in 1938, Secretariat ,ol;kghdawould be the odds-on favorite. He was bigger, had no visable conformation faults, and a trainer that was successful and had many wins under his belt. Obviously Seabiscuit had something in him to allow him to run like he did. So there is really no way to answer this question.
How many records did Seabiscuit set?
I believe the Jockey Club, which is the American registry for Thoroughbreds, lists Seabiscuit's official height as 15.2HH. His height was diminished in the movie to portray the match race between Biscuit and War Admiral as a 'David and Golieth' type of situation. Which is why War Admiral's height was enhanced in the movie from his real 15.3HH to a whopping 18HH. The effect did heighten the suspence but I always feel that it's best to stay with just the facts.
What is the name of the horse who was Seabiscuit's real competitor?
Seabiscuit had an extraordinarily long career for a racehorse. From his 2 year old year until his retirement at age 7. Most Thoroughbred's racing careers last 2 or 3 years on average. He raced against many horses in those 7 years but his most memorable would have been the match race between him and superhorse champion War Admiral. The Biscuit was the extreme underdog in this historic race held in the fall of 1938. But true to form, the little bay from California humiliated the Admiral, making him eat dirt in the home stretch, crossing the finish line 4 full lengths ahead of his competitor.
What was Seabiscuit?
Facts not stated in the movie Seabiscuit. Ligaroti was a horse also owned by Bing Cosby the owner of War Admiral raced Seabicuit in a matchrace before War Admiral did. Ligaroti was owned by Bing Crosby and Lin Howard. Lin's father, Charles, owned Seabiscuit. Ligaroti was trained by Jimmy Smith, whose father, Tom, was Seabiscuit's trainer. He wanted to match them so that he could prove that his horse was better than his father's.
Who won when War admiral and Sea biscuit raced?
I'm not sure what differences you are asking about. The characteristic differences of the two horses are abundant. Although Biscuit and Admiral were related (uncle/nephew) they were very different individuals. War Admiral, son of the legendary Man-O-War, was trained by Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons who was no stranger to the winner's circle. War Admiral had won almost every prestigious race on the east coast, including the Triple Crown. He was voted Horse of the Year, and many other honors befitting a racehorse of his caliber. And as is true of many racehorses, he had a nasty temperment. Seabiscuit, on the other hand impressed few. Fitzsimmons took a pass on the Biscuit, thinking him lazy and not worth the trouble. For those who don't know much about the racing buisiness this is a common scenario. Of the thousands of foals born every year, a Triple Crown winner is rare. Seabiscuit had some conformation faults that didn't help his case. And in a buisiness where a horse peaks at the age of three or four, Biscuit was a late bloomer, maturing later not sooner. He also had a bad temperment, mostly from mismanagement and harsh training tactics. Going into the great match race of November 1, 1938, Seabiscuit was the longshot. Although the 2003 movie took some artistic licence with the facts, the match race was accurate. With George 'The Iceman' Wolfe up, he knew the horse and how he needed to be ridden. It truly was a David and Goliath story. Point of interest:Seabiscuit's lifetime earnings (almost 1/2 million dollars) at the time of his retirement in 1940, far surpassed War Admiral's.
